Question: whats a home remedy
Answers: whats a home remedy
use a prawduict instead
This sounds like total BS, but it works- (I got it from a Pakastani guy I went to school with)
Get an onion, cut it into quarters. Put it in a large pot with just enough water to cover it- bring it to a boil, boil for 5 minutes, and remove it from the heat. Put the pot on the table (or the floor) with a couple of hot pads under it. Put your head over the pot with a towel over your head and breath in. Make sure you take breaks. Again, it sounds stupid, but it works.
like sinus congestion ?
i have that problem.. allyear. its not alergies or a cold...but things that help me.....
steem .. so like a shower,bath,humidifier,cup of tea... whatever has steem u can breath in !that helps...

anyway .it cleans out ur nasal pasages so and its a long turm healer !!!!
look it up
Another onion-based home remedy:
Sleep with half an onion, cut side up, on a dish next to your bed as close to face level as possible, so you breathe the vapors as you sleep.
I also cut a cross into the cut surface (but not deep enough to break it into quarters), to open it up more (more surfaces exposed) and thus release more juices and vapors.
Two ways that don't require OTC medications.
Hot herbal tea. See if you can find one with eucalyptus or mint, make it twice as strong as you normally would, make sure it is as hot as you can stand it, and tank it down. Drink this every couple of hours or so (make sure it is non-caffinated!). The fluid will help loosen mucus and rid your body of toxins, and the heat will help it flow.
Vicks in hot water. Another eucalyptus-type remedy, but it does work! Or, if you happen to have some eucalyptus oil, use that... Put a blob of Vicks rub (or a few drops of the oil) in a bowl of boiling water, stir, hold a towel over your head, over the water bowl, and breath for five or so minutes. Repeat whenever you feel like it.
Tea works wonders... Good luck!
:o)
Water.
Water will reduce the thickness and help your body.
Any mucous is thicker when you are dehydrated.
If you have an infection, a home remedy is not going to help kill the bacteria causing the congestion/infection.
Just take a hot shower! Steam is a wonderful and quick way to loosen up congestion.
A lot of answers here already that would help sinus, is that what you are looking for, or lungs?
If lungs, take plenty of water so you are well hydrated, then breathe out in a short sharp breath making a 'ha' sound, keep repeating, it will bring up lung congestion.
It works
Ok, 1st thing, lots & lots of water, 2nd: try hot shower w/ SudaCare tablets (do not eat) which you place in the water stream & they vaporize the shower (they're awesome - try Walgreen's), 3rd: apply vapor rub vapor rub, 4th: have you tried chewing 2 Altoid gum pieces ( that will open you up for sure), & 5th: take as deep a breath as you can imagine & then cough (repeat several times, hourly)
